Now that you have your accounts set up, you are ready to start trading social bookmarks with other LavaLinx users. First, login to your LavaLinx account.

From here you can click “Manage” on a particular site, or you can go straight to the “Create Social Trade” button in the bottom corner of the screen.

This will list out all pages that are available to trade social bookmarks with, starting with those most recently added. It also lists the “Type” of trade.

The “Bookmarks Remaining” is the number of remaining times you may bookmark that particular page. The “Social Accounts” lists the number of social accounts that site has available to bookmark your site.

Select the page you would like to bookmark and hit “Social Trade” on the right column.

Social bookmarks are different than link trades. With link trades, relevancy is key, but with social bookmarks, you will want to use variety. This will show the social sites that you are interested in a multitude of topics, which will help your social account appear more natural.

The next screen lets you select which page of yours that you’d like them to bookmark.

Click on the page you prefer and hit “Next”.

Now you are able to choose the page of theirs that you will bookmark. Here there is one, so select it and hit next.

Then, select the user you would like to bookmark your page. We have this feature for sites that have multiple users on one account.

On step four, you get to choose which social sites you and the other webmaster will bookmark these pages on.

LavaLinx has a counter on this section that ensures it is an even and fair trade. If you select an uneven number, our system will remind you that you must select an equal number of sites from each side.

When you’ve selected the social accounts you want, click next and you will be taken to the review screen. This is where you will look over the trade for any errors. Hit back if you need to fix anything, or if you’re finished click “Submit”.

You are now finished with creating a social trade, and it has been sent to the other webmaster for review.
